As long as you have internet access you can call a friend. Tapping on the phone icon opens up the call screen. You can do a regular voice call and toggle on the camera to turn on the video function. Access the text box while in the call by clicking on the text bubble, mute the microphone by clicking on the mic icon, and you can reverse the camera view from front facing to standard view.
Take screenshots in the call that will save to your mobile device or tablet's camera roll. Now not only can you have text group chats, but you can have group voice and video calls too. As for customization, you can change the color of the icons and the text bubbles. When you send messages, the color that you select shows up in your friend's chat as well.
You can view friends' stories at the top of the app, sending messages and emojis for each clip, and you can add to your own story as well. On an Android, Messenger takes up about MB of storage while running. As you chat with more people and use more functions like sharing videos, pictures, and outside articles, the space that the app takes up begins to swell and after prolonged use, the app can sometimes shut down randomly.
The app also drains the battery very quickly if you're using it for even a few different chats. On PC, you can access Facebook Messenger through the Facebook website, with pop-out text boxes appearing when messages are sent. There is also a separate Messenger website if you wanted to have a separate tab for your chats, voice and video calls. All of the functions available for Messenger on Android are available on the web versions.
On iOS when voice or video chatting, you can pick from a number of effects that hang and float all over the screen. For Android, the best alternative is Messages, the Android function that comes with your phone. It has all of the functions that regular text messaging apps come with, but of course there isn't a way to contact Facebook friends unless you have their phone number.
The next alternative would be Whatsapp. Text, voice, and video chatting is good across the board, and just like Messenger you need to have some sort of internet or data connection to use it.
Other similar functions to Messenger are photo and video sharing capabilities, GIFs and stickers, voice messages, voice to text, and group chatting. With Whatsapp, you can display statuses, and view your chats on your desktop. Just go to the Whatsapp site for web and scan the QR code with your phone. You're instantly able to view all of the chats that you have on your phone on your desktop or laptop. Description Group video calls, voice calls, text messaging and more!

Facebook Messenger for Windows is a free application available for download on any personal computer. It had been integrated within the Facebook platform itself and developed in as a separate app. After years of adding features and whittling them back down, Messenger has achieved a happy medium.
The application runs great on a laptop because it requires a lot of data which might burden a mobile device. Features FB communication can be done in a variety of ways. The app offers audio clips, images, video, emojis, and stickers to send to your pals.
Amazingly, users may transfer money through the chat app if he or she chooses to register their bank account information on the app. The developers have not stopped there. The app allows for VoIP and live video chat one-on-one and in groups as well. Group chat is also on offer for persistent chats among up to 10 users.
You find them through the search bar. Rather disappointingly, the utility of these chatbots is diminished by the fact, each one is designed for a specific function. I believe this makes it needlessly difficult to discern what powers they hold. Messages on the app are transmitted through encryption keys that are managed by Facebook. Ostensibly Facebook or government officials can obtain those messages if garnered through the proper legal channels. Facebook offers an extra layer of privacy protection through the Secret Conversations mode.
Secret Conversations use the Signal system to transfer end-to-end fully encrypted messages and enable the timer to set an expiration date on the message.
The message will then be deleted forever. The black bar across the top of the screen imbues on the user the secrecy of this texting mode. Otherwise, the experience feels like a simpler version of the normal chat mode. Secret Conversation mode still allows the user to send text, stickers, videos, photos, and location.
There is no need to goad your friends and family into downloading a new app. But, sometimes these apps offer a feature that completes the already impressive catalog of emoji, stickers, GIFS, and other media products.
